Auro D412/D415
Owners Manual

Thank you for purchasing the Samson Auro professional, powered loudspeaker. The Auro D412 and D415 are
compact and powerful speaker cabinets featuring 400 watts of bi-amped onboard power. The Auro D412 and
D415, respectively, feature 12” and 15” heavy-duty, long-excursion woofers, as well as 1.34” titanium compres-
sion drivers on 1” throat wide dispersion horns. The speaker cabinets provide both XLR and ¼” phone jacks that
handle microphone or line level inputs. The XLR Line Output allows you to “daisy-chain” multiple Auro cabinets
together to create larger sound reinforcement systems.
For added speaker protection, the Auro D412 and D415 feature dual optical limiters that keep your speaker
sounding perfect at any level, and the integrated two-band equalizer allows you to sculpt the mix to your
desired sound. Each cabinet’s trapezoidal shape allows it to be configured for either front-of-house use, or for
operation as a wedge-style monitor. In addition, the compact cabinets can easily be stacked, using the built-in
bumpers or can be stand-mounted using the integral 1 3/8” pole-mount receptacles.
Each Auro PA system’s durable enclosure is made of high-impact polypropylene with a scuff-resistant textured
finish, and include a heavy-grade steel grill, offering excellent protection against wear and tear for truly por-
table audio. The Auro active monitors are ideal for live music, DJ, lecture, and installed sound applications, or
anywhere serious power and superior sound quality are desired.
